The Rotel RSX-972 can be had for a grand (you didn't mention a price cap) and is very musical. It also has 5.1 direct inputs that avoids any A/D D/A conversions - I have my SACD player hooked up through them. Downside - it "only" has 5.1 channels and "only" handles Dolby Prologic, Dolby Digital and DTS. The tuner is fine for my needs.
I use mine for about 85% music and 15% video and I am quite pleased (former amplification was Parasound monoblocks and pre-amp).
